Buy Sectigo Essential SSL for reliable website protection and HTTPS activation in minutes.

Sectigo Essential SSL is an entry-level Domain Validated (DV) SSL certificate from Sectigo that provides HTTPS connectivity, data security, and encryption for your website in minutes.

An SSL certificate protects information transmitted between the user's browser and the server and provides:

— secure HTTPS protocol;
— absence of “Unsafe site” warnings;
— protection of passwords, forms and personal data;
- improving user trust and SEO rankings.

Sectigo Essential SSL uses Domain Validation (DV), which verifies only the domain's ownership, not the legal entity. This is the fastest and most convenient way to secure your website.

Typically, Sectigo Essential SSL is issued within a few minutes (5 to 15 minutes) immediately after successful domain ownership verification.

Domain verification can be done in three ways:

— Email validation: receiving a letter to a service address (admin@, webmaster@, etc.);
— DNS record: adding a special CNAME or TXT record to the domain settings;
— HTTP/HTTPS file: placing a text file in the root folder of the site.

The certificate provides standard 256-bit encryption and support for modern algorithms, including RSA and ECC, which meets current security requirements.

Yes, the certificate is compatible with 99.9% of modern browsers and mobile devices, including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, as well as Android and iOS systems.

Yes - Sectigo Essential SSL comes with a guarantee of up to $10,000 against CA errors that result in financial loss to the end user.
